GitHub - romkey/circremote: Utility to execute code locally and remotely on CircuitPython devices Utility to execute code locally and remotely on CircuitPython devices - romkey/circremote

Just some of the cool things you can do with circremote: list files on the drive, remove files, scan the I2C bus, and test sensors without writing code. Check it out and give it a star on GitHub.
